Help in calculating a column for runrate!

UrAvgWally — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 10:59:51 GMT

I have the following Table let us say, Table1,

i am trying to calculate the runrate in the last column, logic is that I have another Table , let us say Setup. So the Setup table has a column CP, which states the current period "5".

I want the last column for all periods upto P5 (based on the Setup[CP] value) , be equal to the value column in the table1 , and P6 to P13 onwards the be the runrate which is sum of Period 1- Period 5, divided by 5 (Which is based on Setup[CP] value.

is it possible to do it this way? Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Hi UrAvgWally
Please try

RunRate = VAR RefPeriod = MAX ( Setup[CP] ) VAR CurrentValue = Table1[Value] VAR FilteredTable = FILTER ( Table1, Table1[PeriodNo] <= RefPeriod ) VAR RunRate = AVERAGEX ( FilteredTable, Table1[Value] ) RETURN IF ( CurrentValue <= RefPeriod, CurrentValue, RunRate )

Hi tamerj1 ,

Thanks for getting back to me!

Unfortunately not getting desired results .I was hoping Period 1 to 5, would match the value column, and 6-13 would be runrate:

Apologies, that was my mistake

RunRate = VAR RefPeriod = MAX ( Setup[CP] ) VAR CurrentPeriod = Table1[PeriodNo] VAR CurrentValue = Table1[Value] VAR FilteredTable = FILTER ( Table1, Table1[PeriodNo] <= RefPeriod ) VAR RunRate = AVERAGEX ( FilteredTable, Table1[Value] ) RETURN IF ( CurrentPeriod <= RefPeriod, CurrentValue, RunRate )

tamerj1 , I have modified this table to include funders and since there are multiple periods as each funder will have P1- 13 values, I cannot figure a workaround. The funder is an important slicer for my dashboard, hence needed to add it.. I posted it here, if you have time , would appreciate if you can have a look. :
